Ruizhi Jin

I am currently a PhD student in the School of Engineering, Design and Built Environment at Western Sydney University. I studied for a Master of Philosophy (Engineering) degree at Western Sydney University and graduated in 2019. I was awarded Best paper award at 1st International Conference on Mineral Engineering and Material Science in 2017. 

My research interests include industrial gas purification, Computational Fluid Dynamics and numerical simulation of complex multiphase system.

​Particular matter (PM) poses great health risk as these fine particles can penetrate into people’s lungs and bloodstream. Conventional gas cyclones which is used to collect particles from waste gas are not efficient to collect PM2.5. Recently, a new Cloud-Air-Purifying (CAP) cyclone is introduced to improve the collection performance by using the formation mechanism of raindrops. 

To better understand the complicated air-vapour-particle-flow in a CAP cyclone, we develop a CFD model to investigate the vapour distribution and its effect on particle condensational growth. The numerical results can help us understand the complicated vapour flow in the CAP cyclone and guide its design and optimisation.
